9 beers on the handles, remaining one labelled and due to be supplied some time later. My Abbot was in fine condition, our soups were excellent and hot. Quiet just before 1 o clock, then busied just after 1 o clock when the lunchtime rush began. Toilets were clean (and downstairs for a change) atmosphere good, menu apparently contains some items which are trialled here for use throughout Wetherspoons. Worth another visit.

Despite the wet morning the pubn was busy, but two barmaids, one of whom appeared to have started this morning ("What glass do I put this beer in? What button do I press for this?") meant a 15 (fifteen) minute wait for service. The Abbot was good and the food satisfactory, but on taking my wife to the disabled toilet on leaving, there was an out-of-order sign stuck on the door; not for the first time, I am willing to guess. I thought of complaining, but as the guv'nor seemed to be the (only) waiter I chose not to hold up any other customers' food service. Disappointing.

Solid high ceilinged Victorian building, formally dock offices. Slightly smaller inside than appears outside, and smaller than the average Spoon. The smallest and most characterful of the three cental Southampton Spoons. Clean and tidy, there's an intimate and pleasant atmosphere. Slightly less guest selection than the average Spoon on our visit. Quite likeable.

Beer was flat - food came quickly and was OK. Say no more!

a very good pint of goddards(isle of white) scrumdiggity bitter quaffed here, the place was very busy mind it was a sun soaked easter sunday. The service was pitifully slow but this only down to the jdw minimal staffing levels,the actual bar staff were working their arses off spesh a girl who was preggers, 7/10

Hopeless service. Got fed up with waiting and went elsewhere.

Agree with the post below. Same generic Wetherspoons look inside. Spacious. As with any Wetherspoons establishment, good for one thing - the range of ales. If it wasn't for the ale range, I wouldn't bother. As it is, I had a 'Moondance' from the local Triple fff brewery. Well kept and tasted fine.

Possibly Southampton's best Wetherspoons, not that that's saying much. You know what to expect - beer was good.

Visited early evening mid week. As 'spoons go it was ok. I had a couple of pints of Ringwood, service was fine, pleanty of staff on. The beer was in good condition. Totally characterless, but if you want a cheapish swift half on the way to a proper pub it'll do.

Grim. Ringwoood beer dreadful; seemed like it had gone off.
Green King IPA was alright. Pretty rough clientele.
Not good.

middling new wetherspoons in Ocean Village, handy for a stop before or after watching a film at Harbour Lights. They've done a decent job of the refurb but the management could definitely make more of an effort with stocking Ringwood ales - the only Ringwood on offer last 3 visits has been Best, and twice its been off anyway with GK ales taking up most of the pumps. Still, there's bugger all decent pubs around there for competition so I will be a regular customer anyway.
